FALSE PROPHET: Antichrist-- a king of fierce countenance, little horn, the serpants seed, the abomination of desolation, son of perdition, the beast that shall rise up out of the sea. False Prophet-- the beast that is coming up out of the earth, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power useing false signs and lying wonders. Satan-- the third beast that shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, the Devil, the serpent, the dragon, the great red dragon, the great dragon, the image of the beast, also called other names in the bible but not relevant to the book of revelation. I will start with the false prophet. Because he is the one that is going to decieve countless millions into following the antichrist. We know that it will not be possible to decieve the very elect of God. And everyone believes that they are the very elect. But I tell you, if you have not sold out, if you are not abideing in Christ, and if you are not abideing in his word you will be decieved. One of the biggest ways that he will decieve the christans, who are not living dedicated lives for our Lord. Is that he will say that he is coming in the name of Christ, saying that he is the prophet Elijah. That he is sent from God to let them know that Christ's return to earth to set up his kingdom here for a thousand years is soon to happen. To those that question his authority, and want proof of who he says he is he will have power to call fire down from heaven and consume them. As did the true prophet Elijah. Another one of the false signs that he will be giving, is he will be pointing to the scriptures just as Satan did with Christ. Quoting from the book of Malachi: ( behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: ) I have attended many churches that still teach that Elijah is coming back as one of the two wittness before the return of Christ. The bible lets us know who the two will be that will wittness. We will cover this in another study. But Elijah is not one of them. The apostals knew the prophecy of Malachi, and had concerns, because here was the one that they believed was the Christ so they asked him Matt: ch 17 vr-10, 11, 12. ( And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things, But I say unto you, THAT ELIJAH IS COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM NOT, ) Mark ch 9 vr 11, 12, 13, ( And they asked him saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come? And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things and how it is written of the Son of man,that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, THAT ELIJAH IS INDEED COME, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. ) Now how plain can that be? Jesus himself telling us, that which is written by Malaich has already happened. I have taught this in churches and have had pastors come after me, and say that they still believed that Elijah was coming back. Maybe because they have taught it so long, they don't want to look bad to their congregation, I dont know. But I hope to those that have read this. And are able to recieve what the Lord saw fit to have put into two books of the gospels and said it so plainly, teach it every chance they get. Because this is what is going to be the biggest deciever of christens. There is alot more about the false prophet, but hope I have covered enough to help. Next the antichrist part three.
